12 min listen

At the ‘Labour Business Conference 2024′, shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves wooed business with a pledge that Labour would not raise corporation tax in their first term. Instead, she told the audience of FTSE 100 chief execs that a Labour government would keep the current cap at 25 per cent. How convincing is Reeves’ big pitch to business?

Also on the podcast, the big news this week has been the Northern Ireland negotiations. What’s happened in parliament today?

Natasha Feroze speaks to Katy Balls and James Heale.
